Under the laws granting these lands cor
porations are and have been entitled for
years to select lands in indemnity limits
to make good any losses in their granted
limits, but hold that while corporations
had and have this right, the people had
and have at the same time the right to
settle on these lands under the land laws,
and it is just and necessary that this
equal right of the people in these lands
should be asserted. Hence shall revoke
every indemnity withdrawal and open all
indemnity lands to settlement st once
within granted limits. The land grant
corporations have certain rights to the
exclusion of people that is, by act OF
Congress, within the indemnity limits.
The corporations have their rights OF
selection only in common with the
people.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING,


The Philadelphia Times says: The
waste of money by i'll advertising is
nearly, or quite as much, as would liber-
ally advertise trade in the best chan
nels. Many establishments spend more
for costly circulars and their distribution
than would present their business to
hundreds of thousands of thrifty dealers
through widely read newspapers, and the
circular seldom reaches any others than
servant, as it passes to the waste basket
or kindling box. The advertisements of
our leading retail stores are as regularly
read in the leading newspapers by men,
women and children in families, as are
weather, market and fashion reports.
They are made fresh and readable as
genius and skill can make them, and
while circulars serve the only purpose of
starting the morning fire, the wise adve1-
tiser daily summons his customer from
the homes of the land, and his advertis-
ing is the life of his trade. The fact that
there is not great advertiser in legiti-
mate trade in this city who has not
gathered a fortune from his business,
while old and apparently well establish
ed houses have languished and died, is
conclusive proof that the newspaper
which commands large circles of intelli-
gent and progressive readers is the open
highway to business success and fortune.
What is true of Philadelphia is true of
Asheville and other trade centers. The
circle of readers of the Daily and Weekly
CITIZEN comprises the best people of
Asheville and Western Carolina and
Tennessee, and our advertising rates
are within the reach of all-too low in
truth,

STATE AFFAIRS:

STATE AFFAIRS:
The Raleigh correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch under date of the
9Th inst, gives the following items:
Your correspondent to-day interview
ed Secretary Wilson, of the State Horti-
cultural Society, in regard TO the damage
to fruit by the frosts. He says nine
tenths of the peaches are killed, but that
on high land in the central part of the
State enough are left for a-good crop.
All pears in bloom, comprising all the
early varieties, are killed. Grapes Snd
apples are not hurt A prominent truck
er from, the Newberne section to-day
said that the loss by frosts to truck there
is certainly half of the crop.
Prof. E. A. Alderman, superintendent
of the Goldsboro Graded School, has
been elected superintendent of the Ashe
vile Summer Normal School. He is =
very able educator.
1t is likely that there will be trouble
in few days over the drummerB' license
matter. A drummer said to your CORES.
pondent to-day that he had taken out
no liceuses but would 90 right ahead and
sell. He said that many sheriHs are not
interfering with drummers at all.
An enormous bear was killed yesterday
by party of fifty citizens of the town
of Saansboro', Hyde county. The bear
very coolly entered the town. With
every sort of weapon and with dogs by
the score the people pursued the bear
A dozen shots were f1red at the animal
which entered a small pond, Captain
Heady, one of the hunters, jumped upon
his back, and 80 rode across the pond.
Then another attack was made upon the
bear and in two hours time he was kill
ed and carried back to the town by the
triumphant huntsmen.

Our PREHISTORIC CfTY-A SIDE
WALK, CURBING AND ALL, Found
SEVERAL FEET UNDER THE SUR
FACE, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
STREET.
While excavating yesterday in
the middle of Patton Avenue for
the escaps pipe of the fountain, the
workmen, when several feet under
the surface, struck a pavement with
regular cut curbing, and with cob
ble>stone pavement. Alderman
Alonzo Rankin and others of our
oldest citizens say not within their
memory was work of that kind done
here, and that the pavement should
be exactly in the middles of the
street enhances the mystery. It
must have been done when Ashe-
vile was inhabited by a different
race from that which exists tosday,
but they evidently possessed intelli-
gence, enterprise and local pride,
and foresaw tie grand preparations
which the future mountain metropy
oils would attain. It must have
been people who required narrow
streets and narrow sidewalks, this
sidewalk being about three feet
wide. Ii the excavations could be
carried further there is no doubt
but that something very interesting
would be found. This busy life,
however, will not Justify a waste of
time and high priced territory to
hunt for such hidden treasures.
The city authorities are having the
prehistoric side walk taken up, but
whether to place in our city muse
um or not has not yet been decided.

A Few FISH BY DAM S1rR.

According to notice and by special in
vitatlon we visited the sh-pond of Capt
Matt Atkinson yesterday. to witness the
draining off Some months ago Capt
A. put several hundred young carp into
this pond. and thinking they were in
fine condition for spawning concluded
to draw off the pond, 80 as to catch the
fish and distribute to those who might
wish toget supply of this fine tinny fish
Tho drawing-of was q success; n, the wa
ter flowed freely; but the Capt. was rather
disappointed in not getting more than
one hundred good fish, when he expect
ed several hundred. Those obtained
were very lne, weighing from two and q
half to five pounds each; but, some
varmint evidently has been playing
the mischief with the Captains fish
He generously distributed number to
his friends, and has on hand fifty forifine
spawners, which should be called soon
by those wanting. We thank him fol
our share.

DE HAvEN's CIKcUs

DE HAvEN's CIRCUS
Gave its first performance yesterday to
q well filed canvass. All in all, it was =
better show than we expected, and is
worth the small price of admission, twen-
ty-five cents, which gives access to all of
the shows. There is an elephant, camel,
dromedary, sacred COW, tiger, lions of
several sorts, bear, and several others,
with some fine birds, all worth seeing if
never seen. The athletic, acrobotic and
some other parts were good, some parts
very excellent. The management seems
desirious of giving the full worth of the
money, and we think succeed. The
clowns are good, and make you laugh
whether you want to or not. The per-
formances will be repeated to-day at 2
p. M. and p. m; also tomorrow, at same
| hours.

THE AsHEv1LLE HOMESTEAD AND LOAN
ASSOCIATION.
The CITIZEN ever takes pleasure in
commencing to our people what tends
to promote their best interests, and we
know of no enterprise, which we can re-
commend more sincerely than that above
named. 1t be gan business on the 9th of
October last, with an excellent Board of
Directors, to-Wit: D. G. Waddell, PreSi.
dent, T. c. Westall, Vice President, T..
w. Patton, Secretary and Treasurer, G.
F. Scott, w. T. Penniman, J.. 6. Lindsey,
A. r. Cooley, and w. H. PenIand, Direc-
tors. We are gratifed, butnot surprised
to learn of their success. During six
months their collections were 81, ,778. 35, =
very small part of which was required to
pay expenses, which are reduced to q
minimum, and the balance used ct once
to help those stockh olders, who wished
to do so, in building residences for them
selves, thereby saving themselves rent,
which 80 soon eats up mechanics in
come. Assistance has peen given in
building thirteen houses. We would be
glad to see the member of shares increas-
ed to the full number allowed by the
charter-5,0 900 shares. and the Directors
very wisely have decided to open a sec
ond series, to begin on May LIST, to enable
new stockholders to come In, and par
ticipate in the benefits of the Associa
ton. Any person who have money for
investment can find no safer, and but for
more lucrative places for it, as if they do
not wish to borrow, they are assured oi
l8 per cent interest compounded eUery
month; and they have also the satisfaction
of helping many worthy N en- t0 provide
homes for themselves; who can do SO in
no other way. Messrs. T. C. WestalI, A.
r. Cooley and J. 6. Lindsey are com.
mittee in charge of the second series
and we are sure they will meet with
favorable responses from many of oul
people.
